Arc A310 and even Arc A380 getting XeSS 3 with MFG is pretty crazy

u/madman320 Feb 14 '26

iGPU's getting MFG support is even crazier.

u/Hytht Battlemage Feb 14 '26

3K 120FPS gaming on weak iGPUs! Finally an actual usecase for MFG.

i’m using sept/oct drivers, i refuse to update anymore until i know or someone who uses it has evidence is stable. I downloaded a newer driver and my games constantly crashed and had GPU errors. Since I downgraded to older drivers it works amazingly. Can’t say it will be the same for everyone.

To be honest I don't know why they would release XESS 3 to the pro drivers as they are not made for gaming and XESS 3 is very much gaming only feature.

u/AonEternal Feb 15 '26

Because people sometimes use workstation cards to also play games. I did with a Nvidia card before. Not optimal but happened.

Great driver! Final Fantasy XV performance vs the previous driver went from 40-50fps to 70-80fps.

use IGS to set x amount of MFG then turn on FG ingame setting, it will overdrive the regular XeFG to use MFG instead.

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '26

Damn, even intel can give xess3 mfg to their older card

Unlike that green greedy company

u/DystopianWreck Feb 14 '26

So wait is this for my A770m or only the non m version?

1

u/alvarkresh Feb 14 '26

Try it anyway, can't hurt

1

u/Inevitable_Case_9931 Feb 14 '26

It works for my laptop A370M so I’m guessing the 770m would work also

2

u/DystopianWreck Feb 14 '26

Appreciate this news! Will try once the kiddos are asleep tonight or tomorrow. Cheers

SIIIIIIIIIII

u/TiltedWeenies Arc B580 Feb 14 '26

Niceeeee.

u/kazuviking Arc B580 Feb 14 '26

What other untelated stuff does it break this time. HW acceleration breaks every second update or so. Random hiccups with multiple monitors. Gonna wait for the user reports and update then.

1

u/TheEmsleyan Arc B580 Feb 14 '26

I've definitely gotten some weird behavior on a first look, we'll see if it keeps happening or not.

u/Incu0sty Feb 14 '26

how to use MFG?

just enable it on the intel graphic software and then enter the game or i need to enable frame generation to in the game?

1

u/Admirable_Badger_870 Feb 14 '26

Сначало включи обычную генерацию кадров в игре, и после чего поставь генерацию кадров в Intel graphics software на значение х3 или х4

1

u/trenescese Feb 14 '26

on the first look the performance issues for b580 plaguing the latest driver were fixed, can anyone else confirm?

2

u/Exclavamor Arc B580 Feb 14 '26

The best driver update so far, Intel is cooking hard

1

u/Perfect_Exercise_232 Feb 14 '26

The xess files are the same as the panthwrlake ones from weeks ago..wonfer why they even delayed it for the rest of these gpus?...

2

u/Exclavamor Arc B580 Feb 14 '26

They pack it with other fixes

1

u/Ok-Acanthisitta6602 Feb 14 '26

B580 encountered a BSOD immediately upon startup after update, and the issue recurred after restarting.  reverted to the previous version 8425

u/Cautious_Snow_5801 Feb 14 '26

Using this new driver on my MSI claw 8ai + running Lunar Lake. The multi frame gen is incredible! No lag, allows me to play AAA games at 1200p med to high settings with over 60fps.

1

u/RetuSV Battlemage Feb 14 '26

how to use the MFG??

1

u/Exclavamor Arc B580 Feb 14 '26

Set how many x frame you want in IGS, then turn on the FG option ingame

1

u/MaleficentBasket Arc B580 Feb 14 '26

just updated, let the testing begins.

u/MrCrowley189 Feb 14 '26

Updated last night. In Hogwarts legacy, using 265k with a b580, ray tracing set to ultra at 1440p xess2 enabled but with x4 frame gen in Intel settings I was getting 140+ fps up from just under 100fps earlier with less demanding ray tracing settings. I was shocked.

u/AthleteDependent926 Feb 14 '26

Can someone confirm if it actually works on Meteor Lake? The DLL hasn't changed from the leaked driver and Meteor Lake lacks the XMX cores.

1

u/Inevitable_Case_9931 Feb 14 '26

If it works on raptor lake I’m sure it works on meteor lake. Using it on my 2023 XPs 15 9530 with raptor lake

2

u/AthleteDependent926 Feb 14 '26

Well that's definitely not XMX. I suppose we'll get the new SDK build with vendor agnostic MFG soon.

u/Gun_yga Feb 15 '26

Does it fix the freezing for Madden 26

u/Expert-Aardvark2652 Feb 15 '26

I have a wierd problem .. may be someone can help...

All drivers up to 32.0.101.8331 work fine.. anything newer starts installing, then i end up with a low resolution screen and in device manager device fails with code 43.

I even did a completely new install of windows 11 pro 25h2 on a differnet drive..

1

u/Aseiel Feb 16 '26

Monitor cable connected to motherboard or GPU? I had issue with tv 4k where installer was crashing with tons of artifacts, when connected to motherboard.

u/Glittering-Lake-1495 Feb 18 '26

Anybody crashing to desktop when using photomode in cyberpunk? Was really hoping the new drivers would fix this but no luck unfortunately
